Moving-Mesh Simulations of Mini-Common Envelope Ejection in Classical Novae
Nicholas Nelson, Philip Chang
Although well studied, our understanding of the mass ejection mechanisms of cataclysmic variables remains incomplete. Recent work suggests that binary interaction plays an importan…
The Effect of Impact Parameter on Tidal Disruption Events
Alexandra Spaulding, Philip Chang
Stars that pass too close to a supermassive black hole are disrupted by the black hole's tidal gravity and leads to some debris being ejected while the remainder accretes into the…
The effect of diffusive nuclear burning in neutron star envelopes on cooling in accreting systems
M. J. P Wijngaarden, Wynn C. G. Ho, Philip Chang +6
Valuable information about the neutron star interior can be obtained by comparing observations of thermal radiation from a cooling neutron star crust with theoretical models. Nucle…
The growth of the longitudinal beam-plasma instability in the presence of an inhomogeneous background
Mohamad Shalaby, Avery E. Broderick, Philip Chang +3
We study the longitudinal stability of beam-plasma systems in the presence of a density inhomogeneity in the background plasma. Previous works have focused on the non-relativistic…
Simulation of a Compact Object with Outflows Moving Through a Gaseous Background
Xinyu Li, Philip Chang, Yuri Levin +2
A compact object moving relative to surrounding gas accretes material and perturbs the density of gas in its vicinity. In the classical picture of Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion,…
Cooling of the Cassiopeia A neutron star and the effect of diffusive nuclear burning
Wynn C. G. Ho, M. J. P. Wijngaarden, Philip Chang +4
The study of how neutron stars cool over time can provide invaluable insights into fundamental physics such as the nuclear equation of state and superconductivity and superfluidity…
